Start watching at 1:30. The (re)start will make you shout the thread title.

No Chili Bowl, no care.

Good grief, how many cautions did it take to stretch 30 laps to 17 minutes?

Kinda looks like awesome fun, kinda reminds me why I find the idea of driving road courses more interesting. Heck, that makes an autocross course look like a grand adventure...

All of them. It took all of the cautions they could find. At 3 or 4 seconds a lap, that was less than 2 minutes of actual racing.

Wow, yeah those are faster than I thought they were. I'd love to try it, or better yet on a road course as ransom mentioned.

What is the point of that? It's like being in a centrifuge.

Yeah I know driving in a NASCAR-style big oval is a lot more fun and challenging than it looks like, but this oval is too small and I think I'd get dizzy.

Pretty impressive, they accelerate like flees.

If you've been through a few restarts in W2W racing you'll likely be looking for tips and tricks and missed opportunities ;)

I got dizzy just watching the video.

It's like somebody pushed the fast forward button.

I've been thru about 50 of them now... but not in a gymnasium. That is some silly E36 M3 right there. 600HP sprint cars flying around a dinner plate.

that is actually a fairly big arena.. I work there on occasion. For a long time (before boeing started building dreamliners ) that building (Atlantic City Convention Center Boardwalk Hall) was the largest freestanding structure in the world. Not bad for a building constructed in 1928

At first I was all like but then I was like

I was thinking the same thing. How do they not get dizzy?

Reminded me of the sportbike powered merry go round from the animated gif thread.
